It entirely depends on level the burn took place. For mild burns hair regrowth usually takes places once the scalp gets healed.

Hair Regrowth Potential

Factors Affecting Regrowth
- Healthy scalp and follicles allow regrowth over months.
- Severe burns damaging follicles may limit regrowth.
Recommendations
- Keep the scalp clean and avoid further trauma.
- Consult a dermatologist if no regrowth occurs after a few months.

I'm currently taking isotretinoin 20 mg and I'm looking for a more budget-friendly alternative to the Ahaglow S face wash and Acne OC moisturizer. My skin is acne-prone and I'm hoping to find something affordable that still works well. Do you have any suggestions?

you can try using Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser. It is gentle on the skin and helps in controlling excess oil production. As for a substitute for Acne OC moisturizer, you can consider using Sebamed Clear Face Care Gel. It is suitable for acne-prone skin and provides the necessary hydration without clogging pores. Since you are currently using isotretinoin 20 mg, it is important to choose products that are gentle on the skin to avoid any irritation.

I've been told to use Antoxid HC for my dark circles, and I'm wondering if there are any side effects I should know about. Also, do you think products like Faceguard and Radiant I creams are effective for treating dark circles too? I want to double-check on my prescribed meds and what's best to use.
